I have a random question. When Sydney Rice was here, after a big reception he would spin the ball like a top. Got called for delay of game because of it. Watching the Ravens, Steve Smith does it all the time, no call. Did they change the rule?

Depends on how and when it's done. Up to the official.
All kinda random really.

If I have box full of odds and ends and I throw everything out except for one, what do I call it?

Random as in, if a Seahawks does it, its a penalty, if anybody else does it, it's ok.

He got called once for it in the entire time it was penalisable - after it was made a penalty if you "spun it at a player", he spun it against the Niners and it kinda rolled into Bowman or Brooks (one of the two).

Don't think he did it again after that

No, it was only enforced against the Seahawks.

This. I don't blame Kip one bit for not doing it anymore. It was a lot of work, and a few clowns spoiled it for everyone else.

Cooper Helfet and Tharold Simon need some practice this week.
I have faith that Simon will noticably improve, but Helfet was eyebrow-raising bad. Could it be he's a bit more hobbled than they're letting on? His blocking AND catching was not good.
